I agree that it's probably part of the marketing ploy. But with all of the great female producers, directors, screenwriters and show runners working each and every day, it almost comes across as pandering and in some ways, condescending, as if only a female director can faithfully interpret Wonder Woman.

It just seems like an unnecessary ploy. But that's not to say that Patty Jenkins isn't talented or unworthy of the gig.

It's especially odd considering a man created the character. So now he couldn't possibly correctly interpret his own character if he were still alive?
